The Second Sunday after Pentecost
PROVERBS 11:24 (CEV)
Sometimes you can become rich
by being generous
or poor by being greedy.
ACTS 20:35 (CEV)
By everything I did, I showed how you should work to help everyone who is weak. Remember that our Lord Jesus said, “More blessings come from giving than from receiving.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live generously!
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the boomerang blessings that enrich my life. Please show me how I can become more generous with my words, my money, my attention, and my time. It's not that I need to be more blessed but I want to participate in the way that you are blessing others. That in and of itself is a blessing. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
